North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com represented a Research Associate in Colorado in the field of Bioengineering. His work has focused specifically on the development of biochemical sensors based on thermally actuated micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) resonators for biomedical applications. In addition, he has developed gas sensors using MEMS resonators, as well as developing photo-electro-chemical solar cells (PECs).In order for our client’s case to be successful, we submitted extensive documentation proving his highly significant contributions to Bioengineering, including a book, 6 conference proceedings publications, and 2 conference presentations. His publications had been cited at least 25 times at the time we filed the case; nearly all of the citations were by independent researchers around the world, demonstrating that these publications are widely recognized and relied upon in the field.As stated by one independent recommender, “[Client]has shown, on a consistent basis, the ability to conduct quality research that significantly advances the development of the biomedical and energy-based tools in related industries. It is therefore strongly advised that the United States seek to provide [client] with the assurance of his continued ability to reside and work within its borders.” Through extensive documentation, we were able to successfully argue that our client would serve the national interest to a significantly greater degree than others with similar education and experience. His NIW petition was approved in 7 months and 10 days.
